 * Comment I see that Joe's Asian Fetish (different capitalisation) has been speedy-deleted three times. JamesBWatson (talk) 10:16, 30 March 2010 (UTC)
 * Comment It would seem that a review, and various other pages which detail the act are available as independent information. Upon Google searching the band, the majority of first page listings are for this band, and listings continue for the first four pages of results. The band have been on iTunes around the world and performed live gigs and tours. It would seem that having worldwide released album, would warrant a Wikipedia article, given that people around the world may want to read up on the band. It seems that the band do pass the guidelines, however not to some users satisfaction. Then maybe the guidelines should be changed or altered so that it is clear what does and does not qualify for a Wikipedia article. For example, do the band need to be signed to a record label, have produced however many music videos, or released so many albums and reached whatever placing in a records chart. If this is the case, then it would seem many pages on Wikipedia would not qualify, and actually there are a lot of other articles which are just as deserving (or not deserving) of an article, as this band.

 * Comment Having revised wp:band, it would seem that this band qualify for a Wikipedia article on the grounds of sections 1 and 11, there are independent sources and they have also had radio coverage on XFM Radio for their cover of Ever Fallen in Love, as stated in the article. Considering that only one of the criteria must be filled for a band to qualify for an article. I believe this to be more than enough grounds to keep the article.
